about

My name is Doug. Training to be a particle physicist helped me realize that I wanted to engineer software and work with data for a living. My first stop after academia was Anaconda, where I worked as an open source software engineer (in the PyData ecosystem) for nearly 3 years. I then joined Visa, where I'm currently working as an ML engineer on a team that is building a real-time serving platform for fraud detection model inference. The content on this website includes only my views, no one else's. My posts are mostly about software, data, or technical things I've encountered over the years. Some of the software I write is on GitHub (link to my profile above). I live in Austin, Texas, with my wife, Kristie, and our joyful little boy, Oliver.
